Men tied to threats against Brooklyn-based rapper detained at San Antonio airport

1 / 48

Back to Gallery

Three men were arrested Thursday afternoon in connection with threats to impose “penitentiary rules” on Brooklyn-based rapper 6ix9ine if he performed at an area nightclub.

San Antonio International Airport spokesman Rich Stinson confirmed that a group of men were taken into custody at about 4:30 p.m.

In total, three men had been arrested as of Thursday evening, Stinson said. One of the men is accused of making the threat, he said, while the others were arrested in connection with past traffic violations and warrants. They had not been publicly identified as of Thursday evening.

Both he and San Antonio Police Department spokesman officer Douglas Greene said law enforcement have been monitoring the situation since threats were first made last weekend through social media, including Facebook.

Authorities have been “taking every necessary precaution that we can to make sure that everybody is safe,” Greene said.

A video was released Saturday by self-purported members of Tango Orejon, a local prison gang, showing several men holding weapons and threatening the rapper because he had been convicted of a child sex crime.

“You are not allowed in our city,” a man in the video said. He was quickly followed by another saying, “We don’t (obscenity) with no (obscenity) child molesters in our city.”

Stinson said an airport officer noticed a vehicle matching a description given to them by area law enforcement and was about to approach it when it drove away.

The same vehicle returned moments later, and a man entered the airport, Stinson said. Airport security then followed the man and arrested him moments later because he matched the description of someone they had been briefed on who was wanted on several warrants.

Airport police then went to the vehicle and found four other men inside, including the man who is accused of making the threat on Facebook, investigators said.

Airport police have turned the investigation over to the San Antonio Police Department.

“As far as I know they did not have any weapons, but I do know they (police) were still searching the vehicle,” Stinson said Thursday evening.

“We are all very proud of our police department that we have at the airport and their awareness of what’s going on,” Stinson said.

Greene said San Antonio police were still talking to the individuals involved, and that there could be more arrests.
